GOTG: Breath of the Wild or Bloodborne?
- Thread starter Sammy Samusu
- Start date
Thats the worst thing, this thread was only created with the intention of confronting the two fan bases. We are supposed to be better than this, but we are clearly not.
Everyone has an opinion. I just think most people would choose BotW over Bloodborne. You could say the same thing about people picking Bloodborne because they don't like Nintendo games and hate the Breath of the Wild scored perfect 10's universally.
To be fair to OP, this could be a harmless topic, like asking if someone prefers sushi or steak, but sadly, we both know that's not how Internet communities work.
Bloodbornes world is interesting, but after beating the game twice, getting the true ending and reading the wiki my only reaction to the narrative is just "that's sort of interesting in retrospect but it felt like background noise". Didn't help that the only NPCs you interact with just stand in place delivering lines of dialogue in a monotonous fashion and not even move their mouths when they talk.
God of War had a well produced and acted story with memorable and expressive characters that could make you both laugh or cry and I don't think Bloodborne was even remotely comparable in that regard.

I know this answer is not really in the spirit of the poll but in terms of influence you're absolutely correct. Think about how vastly different the gaming landscape would be right now if PUBG had never been made. No Fortnite, no Apex, no BLOPS, no Tetris 99, and no so many others.
Bloodborne, easily.
I think BotW i excellent but it Bloodborne is top 5 games ever created tier.

I love BOTW, but i have to go with Bloodborne. Such a fun game, the boss fights, the combat system focusing on dodging and the world design are all flawless.
I was adding to what the comment said/too lazy to requote the guy he was quoting
I found BOTW incredibly boring and Bloodborne is maybe one of the best games I've ever played, so... yeah.
It's BOTW. Just a true masterpiece, taking a franchise that already contained one of the most critically and communally beloved games ever to even higher heights.
Hard to top that.

I've been thinking about this for hours and I have to go with Breath of the Wild. Both games are absolutely amazing, but the reinvention of the formula while exploring the ideas and philosophies that created the original Zelda are what tips my vote for BoTW. Also the sound design is phenomenal. I can completely understand people going with Bloodborne though, and I adore the game, but I always thought it didn't quite execute on some of its ideas and themes as well as it could, and did noticeably have a few lacking areas (Byrgenwerth). It didn't feel quite fully realized.
I just finished the main quests in BotW and boy what a game! I loved it. A bit frustrating at times though but I think the balance was fine because sometimes it was too easy.
Bloodborne, I'm at the Father G fight. I keep dying LOL. But my time with it so far has been phenomenal. The atmosphere of this game is something else.
I used both games as examples of how character progression can be done well so I think this thread is a good one.
Since I have not beaten Bloodborne yet, I cannot vote.
I will say this though, owning both was a good decision on my part. Hardcore gamers should play both. Casual gamers can enjoy BotW though. My girlfriend is not a gamer but she likes messing about in Hyrule cooking, gliding and finding shrines. She wouldn't touch Bloodborne if her life depended on it lol

I like both. Either would be deserving. Personally, my list would look something like...
- Final Fantasy XV
- NieR: Automata
- Danganronpa V3
- Resident Evil 2
- Persona 5
